What is this "winter" boating you speak of?
Is it this:

Ok, that I agree is neat. Back in the day, I used to have a DN that I
sailed at Webster Lake. It's a lot of fun.

or maybe this:

That's more my concept of "winter" boating. :)

My concept of winter boating where I grew up was the New York Boat Show.
About all we did with "outside water" was ice skate on it, from November
to March.

Or that. :)

Although I never got the hang of ice skating for some reason. I could
"skate" as in go in one direction, but it was a wobbly kind of thing -
just could never quite get it.

Same with snow skiing - never could quite get the hang of it. Just
not coordinated enough I guess. I do wish they had had snow boards in
my day - I think I could have handled that fine.


Let's see. You hate cold. You don't snow ski nor ice skate. What to
hell are you doing in the equivalent of Siberia???


Good question.

Talk to Mrs. Wave. :)


Understood!
